Why would you send a sixth-grade boy to boarding school? Shouldn't a ninth-grade student start high school? What is a junior boarding school? Make an appointment to visit us today and learn why Eaglebrook, a boarding and day school for boys in middle school, might be the right place for your son.
Eaglebrook School was founded in 1922 by Howard Gibbs as a private boarding and day school for boys in middle school. Learn about our school in Deerfield, Massachusetts then and now, and read about the Core Skills we think every boy should know.
At Eaglebrook, we recognize that all students learn in different ways, vary in their innate abilities, and come from a variety of educational backgrounds. Classes at Eaglebrook are organized to meet the needs of each boy.
Eaglebrook is a close community of middle school students, teachers, and their families. Activities outside of the academic classroom are important to the intellectual, social, physical, and emotional development of boys in middle school. Learn about the programs we offer at Eaglebrook, from athletics to arts.
At Eaglebrook, boys learn more than they ever thought possible, discover inner resources, develop self-confidence, and have fun along the way. Delivering on our mission is only possible through the incredible generosity of alumni, parents, parents of alumni, and friends.”
Twelve students represented Eaglebrook at Wilbraham and Monson Academy’s annual math competition for middle school students on March 28th. “We were impressed with the students running the event and the friendliness of the entire community,” said Mr. Elias, Eaglebrook’s Math Department Chair. The leader of the Wilbraham and Monson’s Math Club will be attending Northwestern University to study mathematics and economics in the fall. “She was well spoken, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable,” according to Mr. Elias.
There were nearly 50 contestants from eight different schools and twelve total teams from around the Western Massachusetts area. Eaglebrook’s group divided into three teams. For the second year in a row, Eaglebrook earned 1st and 2nd place in the team division as well as the top three individual places. Peter Ma ’20 placed 1st, Conan Chen ’20 placed 2nd, and Dylan Kim ’20 placed 3rd. The team of Peter Ma ’20, Dylan Kim ’20, Frank Zhang ’21, and William Zhang ’21 earned the top spot in the team competition. The team of Ian Choi ’20, James Clavel ’20, Conan Chen ’20, and Calvin Moon ’21 finished in the runner up spot. In addition to their math prowess, they carried themselves with humble confidence as they were gracious in victory.
The Eaglebrook coaches, Joe Elias and Paul Huang were also involved, as the duo participated in a presentation about Desmos technology. They also had the opportunity to collaborate with other coaches about best practices when teaching mathematics.
